The Subcommittee votes this Tuesday, October 29th!
The Full Agriculture Committee votes on HB 660 on November 7th!
Call or write to let them know you have a right to know what is in your food!
For environmental, health, religious, and cultural reasons, New Hampshire citizens want to make informed choices when they shop. Labeling foods produced with GMOs allows us to make our own choices about how to feed ourselves and our families.
Most crops grown in New Hampshire and sold as human food are not genetically modified making this a win-win for New Hampshire. It will have little to no impact on our farmers, AND studies have shown there will be little to no cost to consumers at the grocery stores.
Please call or write the members of NH’s House Environment and Agriculture Committee listed below to make your voice heard.
